Indeed, it's directly contributed to burgeoning administrative costs in universities through the Federal Student Loan program, and related the devaluing of college degrees.

It's probably helped in some aspects too, but the student debt crisis was created by the DOE. And most everyone can agree that college costs have ballooned in the US while the value of the degrees have decreased.

It's a perfect example of the worst of both worlds of government guarantees in a capitalist society, like Amtrak and US health care. It eliminates many aspects of competition and blurs incentives while remaining in a economy where decisions are profit-driven.

> I happily admit that I would not be able to be productive in such an environment

No shit. 80%+ percent of the country is rubble.

It regenerates on page load. I find that pretty useful.

Grok 4 and Kimi nailed it the first time for me, then only Kimi on the second pass.

That doesn't change the fact that D3DMetal is closed-source. Wine just links to it.

There's also DXMT which is open-source, but doesn't support DX12.

That's because D3DMetal already exists. Games run like they did on Proton ~4-5 years ago, some games better.

I mostly no longer boot my Linux machine anymore to play games.

The anticheat story is probably not as good but I don't play any AAA games, so I wouldn't know.

Why though? You aren’t interacting with it. What difference does it make?

Idk why you are getting downvoted.

To elaborate on your comment, if you just ship sourcemaps in production, that means you can ship minified code and track down what _actual_ source that you _aren't_ shipping to users is getting called, is in stack traces, etc.

I'm not aware of a point of sourcemaps otherwise.

The example in this blog post, they did something recommended by Google and still got banned. Based on that, I'm not sure their built in moderation tools are enough insurance.

I meant it in the sense of continuing to run old C code like X.org in a safer way without unnecessary rewrites to memory safe languages. These vulnerabilities, like this one that's been in the wild as you say for 30 years uncaught, will continue to be found. Something like Fil-C is really useful in that context.

I also said "would it have" -- I don't really care about timeline. Obviously Fil-C is a recent development, that doesn't make the question I asked any less interesting.

Would Fil-C have prevented the first or third?

They aren't just holding cash and/or doing nothing with it. Come on.

Bun is 100% fine in production. And you should be using it instead of transpiling TypeScript unless there’s some other barrier to using it.

Not yet, and possibly not ever quite from Xcode. But using Swift CLI tools, yes.

The example Activty I saw is pretty rough ergonomically, but I have no doubt an ergonomic, SwiftUI-like library could be built on top of what’s currently there and/or on the roadmap.

Launch Steam in big screen mode. Done.

Your comment encapsulates why we have religious thinking around models.

I clicked the article because I wanted to hear about Coolify, but its not mentioned at all beyond the article tag, intro, and closing statements. I don't think Coolify should be mentioned at all.

This article is really about preparing a VPS for Coolify deployment, but stops short of Coolify setup AFAICT

The components work by requesting the image URL from your own server/API, at a route like `/_next/image`. The actual image URL that's passed as a prop to the component is passed to that API endpoint as a URL parameter.

So, the endpoint is essentially a proxy that does additional image processing, like compression and width/height resizing (again, a URL parameter that the Image component or any other client can change based on the device / screen size in use).

This means that without a domain whitelist, theoretically any image URL can be passed to the endpoint, which will then be processed and cached by your infra.

This has been used in the wild, e.g. racking up charges on someone else's Vercel bill by requesting a bunch of images through this endpoint.

Electron updates already exist, it's the individual apps that need to update their version of Electron.

I wonder how much of this is perverse incentives.

If all the AI startups are using Anthropic and OpenAI, does this investment in AI startups continue to be the norm until the Anthropic and OpenAI investors see a return?

Is the article taken down? Clicking the link just goes to a generic list of articles on MSN for me (redirects to msn.com).

Perhaps the link should be changed to the source referred to by a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45368383

> I think one factor to this is that PC gamers are hostile to telemetry

Is there any data to support this? IME most PC gamers I know don't give a shit about telemetry. They are stock Windows and Android users, love Google products, etc.

They only care whatsoever when it comes to adblocking, because they don't want to watch ads.

(I'm also in the US)

> For example, in ObjC an int is an object, but it is not observable. However, an ObjC object with an int property is observable using Key-Value Observing

I haven't written Objective-C in a decade or so, but isn't this a pretty big mischaracterization of the language? NSInteger is a typedef to a C type IIRC, while there's NSNumber for the cases you want an object and/or are deserializing -- and which has observable propeties?

Yup, just rebase.

I just commit with a “wip!”-prefaced message whenever the LLM pauses and says it’s finished, including new files. You can squash and cleanup later, or revert back to a state before it screwed up.

Also doubles as a way to cohesively look at the changes it made without all the natural language and recursive error/type fixing it does while working.

I don’t understand why people are making it so complicated. You’re saving a minute per iteration with the LLM, tops, at risk of losing control or introducing hard to find issues. It is the definition of diminishing returns.

Hah, the same could be said about Rust.

And I’d disagree with both.

If you think WebKit is broken, you should actually download a build of Servo and try it out.

You didn’t finish my comment. Read the last sentence.

Anti-fingerprinting tech just produces a different fingerprint. Google knows e.g. when things are scrambled but certain other things stay the same.

This is not true of any web browser because of fingerprinting. That’s the point of fingerprinting for ad networks.

You can try using a different device but even then, I occasionally get recommending things that are definitely influenced by my roommates (i.e. on the same WiFi)

Using something that prevents fingerprinting helps, but only if you don’t use that browser all the time — otherwise it’s just another fingerprint — and still on the same network.

Absolutely insane. Especially in light of their layoffs. Should be criminal. According to another comment in the thread, it is?

I’m surprised my example didn’t clarify things.

Literally wasn’t the right word. Maybe control just needs more context, like “control of your usage”?

Just add “agent” to the search box. It’s saved in local storage.
